aws bootcamp liveblogging

[rone]

In my efforts to find a new job, i've signed up for an AWS Bootcamp class, because THE CLOUD is one of the New Hotnesses that i lack.

So far, i am dismayed by the difficulty some of the people in this Intermediate class are having with finding stuff on a page, following instructions, and figuring stuff out.

Dude, seriously? You have VMWare experience and know how to access/configure an application through a web-based portal, right?

I hereby declare you Cloud-Certified, Cloud-Capable, and Cloud-Aware.

The hot sexy-ness for Cloud is all in the marketing. You can steal that marketing for your resume. In fact, under CA employment law I believe you are morally compelled to steal from marketing people at every opportunity; but it's been a few years so don't quote me.

I do not, in fact, have VMWare experience. One of the reasons i got torpedoed by a recent job opp.

The hot sexy-ness for Cloud is not in the marketing, but in the execution. That's one thing i learned at Netflix (how to do it right), and later at eBay (how to do it in a "not even wrong" way).
